USWELL, ALBERT, M. D., of Lowell, Mass., was born in Hartland, Windsor county, Vt., on the 15th day of
August, 1821. His father was a farmer, with whom he lived until twenty-one years of age. He had a good taste for reading and took a lively interest in
the public schools, which his son attended until twenty years of age, at which time he was sent to a select school in Hartland, Vt. After attaining his
majority, he attended a second term at the same school, teaching the following winter, and entering the New England Seminary, at Windsor, Vt., at the
close of his school, where he remained five terms, continuing to teach during the winters. In June, 1844, he entered the Norwich University (military)
at Norwich, Vt., from which institution he graduated in August of 1847. Two terms previous to that time, he was engaged in teaching in the Academy at
Canaan, N. H., where he remained until the close of the spring term of 1848. The following autumn, he commenced the study of medicine with Dr. Mitchell
M. Davis, of Norwich, Vt., and in the winter of 1849-'50, he attended a private course (a reading term) of lectures at Woodstock, Vt., given by Dr. Rush
Palmer, and subsequently two public courses, graduating at Castleton, Vt., in November, 1851. He was then engaged for seventeen years in practice as an
allopathic physician in New Hampshire and Vermont, moving at the end of that period to Lowell.

The winter of 1868-'69 (having previously been led to see some of the advantages of the homopathic
practice), he spent in Philadelphia, matriculating at, and graduating from the Pennsylvania homopathic Medical College in February, 1869. He then
returned to Lowell, where he has since been engaged in active practice, and where he has had, by his successful application of the principles of the new
and scientific treatment, many striking evidences of its superiority.

He has been twice married, his first wife dying early and without children.
